In my re-imagining of the Greek myth, Pygmalion was a mermalien sculptor who carved a woman out of stone. After seeing the Finfaerians prostituting themselves, he no longer showed an interest in women, but his sculpture of Galatea was so realistic that he fell in love with it. He offered the statue gifts and even prayed to Venus to breathe life into his creation, until finally, she took pity on him and transformed Galatea into a living mermalien (as you see her depicted here, in transition). Oh, and that's Binky, the trained circus chick, perched on the sculptor's shoulder; she a-muses him.

Patrick Pierson: A TABLEAU OF DREAMS, NO LIMITS Born Pádraig Anton-Piers in 1953 on the outliers of Baile Átha Cliath, Éire (Ireland), the artist changed his name to Patrick Pierson in 1961 when he and his family immigrated to America. Initially represented and published by the Meisner Gallery in New York City, Patrick eventually settled in Palm Beach, Florida and established Fyshwerks Studio Gallery - a fine art studio, smithy, display gallery and publishing house that would become the birthplace for the creatures that were destined to inhabit the realm of Planet Zootopia.
